Do you find it challenging to get the data you need to confidently
assess metal toxicity? There is such an array of symptoms and
conditions that are attributed to heavy metal toxicity that it
can be confusing both to the patient and the practitioner.
Many people who are heavy metal toxic have many of these symptoms.
If you have more than 9 items checked off this list, chances
are you could be heavy metal toxic and should be seen by a competent
doctor and evaluated for this. Download our

To date, there is no test to measure the actual heavy metal
burden inside a human body. So, how can we tell if a heavy metal
burden lies beneath the physical problems of the patient? We
know that we can examine the stool, as in a Metal-Free Challenge,
using a Heavy Metal Fecal Analysis since we know that the colon
is the body's natural route of metal elimination. It is valuable
to know that there are several other Assessment tools which provide
information as to what the body is holding, metal-wise. Often
two or more testing methods are used to establish the diagnosis
of metal toxicity.
Here is a spectrum of available tools, beginning with the simplest.
One of these may lead into the next, until diagnoses can be made
with a comfortable degree of certainty.
1) Lack of response to care: The patient has symptoms that,
while they don't suggest a specific disease, are troubling but
have been resistant to healing measures. In such cases, metal
should be on the list of suspicions.
2) Symptoms: We have provided a Health
Questionnaire for practitioners to use as a diagnostic
tool. A list of conditions and occupations that have been associated
with heavy metal toxicity are provided on a sheet for the patient
to simply check off. These conditions are quite common, and
as you know may be caused by any number of things. However,
when a patient has several of these conditions (seven or more),
it is an indicator that there is a broader underlying cause
linking them together which is often metal toxicity. If a practitioner
started a patient on Metal Free based on the questionnaire
results, the Metal Free would be continued until the symptoms
cleared up. A fecal test, as in 6 below, could also be used
to guide termination of treatment.
3) Muscle-test: Provided the practitioner is trained and experienced,
this is a valuable tool for determining the relative burden of
metals and which part of the body is affected. During the detox,
this method can also show when metal levels are decreasing. Just
as with other tools, the skill of the practitioner has quite
a bit to do with the depth and accuracy of the answers. Training
for this is available from various sources, and is encouraged.
We have suggestions for establishing whether or not metals are
an issue using a form of muscle testing (ART), but at this time
we are not able to provide training for muscle-testing. We provide
a complimentary test vial of Metal-Free which contains 1cc of
the product to use for this purpose. It would also be helpful
to acquire test vials of the heavy metals. These are available
as homeopathic preparations.
4) EAV: (or any of the wavelength machines such as electro-dermal).
This of course requires the equipment and skilled technician.
The data can be very useful. Again the sample vial is provided
for use in such testing. Like muscle testing, EAV can give one
a relative indication of how much metal and where in the body
it is accumulated.
My
12-year-old child
has completely changed
in two weeks on Metal-Free.
He stopped wetting
the bed (which has
been a nightly occurance
for his whole life).
He has become affectionate.
He stopped antagonizing
his brother. I have
been watching this
and wondering what
is going on. Today
he came up to me
and said, "you
know mom I am behaving
the way I always
wanted to be but
couldn't. I think
this (Metal-Free)
spray is really helping
me.
